Line 13:
The major use of secondary sources in Wikipedia is to show something has been noticed. As it is currently written a yellow pages directory of companies would be considered a secondary source, do we really want to consider that as source of notability? I think a lot more has to be made of the noticing and evaluating function of a secondary source. [[User:Dmcq|Dmcq]] ([[User talk:Dmcq|talk]]) 12:00, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
:I think that the yellow pages would be considered a tertiary source, rather than a secondary source.
:Also, the yellow pages are paid advertisements. As such, they are entirely non-[[WP:Independent sources]] and completely worthless for showing notability. [[User:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[User talk:WhatamIdoing|talk]]) 05:11, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
